Farm and Home recommends the
following plan to prevent COW from
sucking herself: Smear her teats with
molasses and red pepper. She will look
better so than with a halter or neck
frame on. You will be more delighted
with the result than the cow is with the
experiment.
To Serve a Watermelon: Cut the
melon in two; take out the pink part in
smooth spoonfuls, removing the seeds.

with flakes of white of egg, frothed,

sugar. Set on the ice till ready to

There are not few houses in which
pen, paper and ink are so rarely used
that when wanted they are scarcely to
be found, and if found, the paper is
yellow, the ink pale and the pen rusty.
A place should be provided for them.
Every member of the family should be
encouraged to use them.
"A new plan for protecting half
hardy plants was tried in England last
winter by the Royal Botanic Society.
A layer of water, contained in a shall
low glass tank, was placed over the
plants, instead of the glass alone, and
was found to possess two advantages,
being an effective safeguard against
frost and against the excessive heat of

The manure of a milking COW de-
pendent on pasture alone can not be
very rich. The food is succulent and
stimulating to milk production, and
this removes most of the heterogeneous
and mineral elements that the cow eats.
If the cows are yarded at night, the
more valuable parts of their manure
are left in the farmyard. Boston Globe.
Dry Bread Fritters: Two cups of
dry, fine bread crumbs, two table
spooDfuls prepared flour, half a pint or
rather less of milk, four well-beaten
eggs, half cupful of sugar, a table
spoonful of butter and few currants.
Boil the milk and pour over the bread,
dredge the currants with flour and mix
all into a stiff batter. Drop into hot
lard as doughnuts and send to table in
powdered sugar.-IndjanapoIiS Senti-

To do up shirts, take two table
spoonfuls of starch and one teaspoon
even full of powdered borax, and dis
solve in one and one-half cups of cold
water. The shirts must not be pre-
viously starched, and they must be per-
fectly dry. Dip the cuffs, collars,
bosoms and neckbands in the starch,
then roll up tight in dry cloth, and
let them lie two hours. Then rub off
and iron. They will be like paste
board, and have a nice gloss.-Chris-

ABOUT HOTEL CLERKS.
Accomplishments Required to Make Them
Popular and Successful.

Popular and Successful
The most desirable hotel clerk is one
who does not forget name. There
is nothing that flatters man so much
as to have a casual acquaintance re-
member him when he has not seen him
Tor a long time. Like most people,
the hotel clerk remembers by associa-
ton, but it is not because of a peculiar
ity about the guest. He recalls the
room he occupied when last at the
hotel. Speaking among themselves,
the clerks will say: BLANK, Blank;
oh, yes, he is the man who had 324. y
A guest in hotel is always connected
with the room he occupies. That is
why the clerk asks a new arrival if he
would like the room he occupied when
last at the hotel. The clerk may for
get the name, but the chances are that
he will recall the face and the room. If
a hotel is successful it is absolutely
necessary that the clerks be popular.
They may be efficient, but if they do
not gain the good will of the guests
their stay in the hotel will be brief.
That may explain why so many of
them wear such good clothes.
BY the way, what has become of the
hotel clerks diamond? 1t has been
relegated to the obscurity of the
defunct funny paragraph. For two or
three years there have been no bad
yarns about the hotel clerk headlight.
Perhaps the clerk is not wearing
sparks" as numerously as he did of
yore. If this is the case the modest ar
rival from the rural districts will no
longer feel himself abashed by the
gorgeous individual who can make him
comfortable or miserable. But then the
doing away with diamonds has de-
pressing effect upon youths who are
entering upon their novitiate in the
business. The height of the ambition
of these young men is to wear three
ply diamond and stand up behind the
counter and yell front in a lordly
way. If they can not wear diamonds
what incentive will they have to be-
come clerks? Even the felicity of
frightening the bell boy out of what
little wits he has is passing away, for
nearly all the hotels now use electric
bells
people are getting more sensible"
remarked Clerk Hartman, of the West,
as he assumed his most philosophical
expression and leisurcly used a tooth
pick. 81 refer more particularly to
newly married people, and when they
show evidence of good, common sense
the millennium is nearer than most
people suppose" Mr.. Hartman went
through the experience himself
THE majority of newly married
couples don't go rushing all over the
country the moment the ceremony is
performed" he continued. They
start but they do not go far. They
proceed to the nearest city where there
is good hotel where they spend a
week or so of their honeymoon, while
their friends suppose they are making
the grand circuit. They don't usually
register. You have heard of the groom
at the Buffalo hotel who registered
and bride. Well, they act on
the same basis. It's the best way, too,
for then they are not bored to death"

THE foundation of all happiness is health.
A man with an imperfect digestion may be
a millionaire, may be the husband of an
angel and the father of half dozen cher
ubs, and yet be miserable if he be troubled
with dyspepsia or any. of the disorders arls-
ing from imperfect digestion or a sluggish
liver. DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pei

these morbid conditions. Being purely veg
etable, they are perfectly harmless.

Senator ingalls, in the september hoTWm,
in writing of female suffrage, insists that
suffrage is not right but privilege con-
ferred by the State upon certain citizens
who are considered most likely to aid in
the accomplishment Of the object Of the
government 1t is privilege founded on
social expediency. The grant of the right
of suffrage TO the negro was an eXpedient.
The grant of the same right to women
would also be an expedient. 1t is urged by
some that If negroes have the right to vote
1t should not be withheld from women.
Senator Ingalls, denies this. The fifteenth
amendment, he says, was war measure.
The negro was enfranchised by the States,
not by Congress, and the experiment of
negro suffrage in the South under the con-
stitutional amendments has been an abso-
Lutte and unqualified failure" To give the
vote to women would more than double the
illiterate vote of the country, putting 1t
above four millions And, even apart from
this, while good women are better than
the best men, and bad women are worse
than the worst men, in politics the virtues
of women would do more harm than their

The remarkable decision of Mr.. Justice
Field Of the L. s. Supreme Court, in San
Francisco, last week, sustaining Stamford
in the position taken by him of refusing to
submit his books Or those of the Cent Paci-
fic road to the Pacific Railway Commission,
may hare more important effect than in
its application to the case directly decided.
If affirmed by the Court ss a whole it
would annul that section OF the interstate
law which provides that the commission
shall have authority to inquire into the
management Of the business Of all COM
mon carriers subject to the provisions OF
the act, and to that end to require the at
tendance and testimony of witnesses and
the production of books and documents,
and to invoke the aid of United States
courts in compelling the same. The pro-
vision authorizing the courts TO aid the
commission by compelling attendance, etc,
is substantially identical with that which
has just been held void by Justice Field.

visions can be supported if the other is
